第106章 荒车大货队 –4
Chapter 106: Wasteland Crew Rover – 4
阿力的Moexl与远方之人链接，心灵感应中的荒车大货队真正的队长，静静扫过杨子藏的身影，深深将青年的形象映入脑海。
A Li’s Moxel connected to a distant figure, the true captain of the Wasteland Crew Rover swept through his telepathic link, letting his gaze land briefly on Yang Zicang, etching the young man’s image deep into his mind.
｛回来吧，常在河别走，哪有不湿鞋的。 这次你们是遇到了不该惹的人。｝
{Come back now. The river runs often—splash without wet shoes? This time, you’ve crossed paths with someone you shouldn’t have.}
忽然，感应画面中那人目光一凝。
Suddenly, the eyes of the man in the vision sharpened.
｛小心。 不，老二，永别了。｝
{Watch out… No, Second-in-Command, fare you well.}
「什么！」
“What!”
轰隆！
Kaboom!
一道火光炸开，黑暗的大地上爆气烟尘，阿力后方几人瞬间被烈焰附著，惨叫著在地上乱滚。
A burst of flames erupted, smoke and dust billowing across the darkened land. Several men behind A Li were instantly engulfed by the fiery blaze, screaming as they rolled on the ground.
杨子藏身影消失在风中，再次出现时，已经来到了阿力前方。
Yang Zicang’s silhouette vanished in the wind—reappearing before A Li.
「秘技？ 你这样的人为什么会出现在这里！」
“Secret Technique? Someone like you here? Why are you here!”
他的Moexl展现。
His Moxel unfolded.
这人身体爆发出无数玻璃碎片，如同炸开般射向前方的杨子藏。
From this man’s body, countless shards of glass erupted like an explosion, hurtling toward Yang Zicang ahead.
乒铃磅砰！
Clang and crash!
玻璃如同不要钱似的砸了过去，瞬间杨子藏身前空间就被重重叠叠的各种钢化的、普通的，薄的、厚的，磨砂的、翡绿或茶色的玻璃碎片所填满。
Glass poured out like it cost nothing, instantly filling the space before Yang Zicang with layer upon layer of tempered and ordinary sheets—thin, thick, frosted, emerald green, or tea-tinted glass fragments.
轰隆隆！ 附带时序的玻璃炸开成，无数微粒激射飞舞。
Boom! Glass, charged with Chronos, exploded into a myriad of gleaming particles, shooting and swirling wildly.
[调度！]
[Dispatch!]
[格位展现，个十百！]
[Position Manifestation, Ones, Tens, Hundreds!]
[999位。]
[999th Level.]
簌簌簌簌！
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
列车撞来讲杨子藏囊括入体内，瞬间化为风消失在原地。
The train lunged forward, enveloping Yang Zicang within it, instantly dissolving into wind and vanishing from the spot.
被列车一口吞入腹中的瞬间，无数玻璃碎片也冲撞进来，噼里啪啦打在车厢内。
The moment he was swallowed into the train’s belly, countless glass shards crashed inward, clattering noisily against the carriage interior.
[我抵消了1238N]
[I neutralized 1238N.]
「原来是真的玻璃，你的能力是收容它们吗？」
“So that’s real glass. Your ability is to contain them?”
杨子藏出现在爆开的无数玻璃碎片之后。
Yang Zicang appeared behind the burst of scattered glass shards.
「呵，比我某个朋友的能力，你的玻璃或许只能让你成为个建筑材料的供应商。」
“Heh, compared to a certain friend of mine, your glass might only qualify you as a building material supplier.”
阿力惊惧，自己射出的成吨玻璃竟然只抵消了一千多时序。
Ali trembled in fear—his tons of projected glass had neutralized a mere 1,238 Chronos.
曾经无数次，伪装为大力士的自己靠着这招偷袭了不知多少人，可今天对方竟完全不惧怕自己的成吨时序玻璃渣。
Countless times before, disguised as a strongman, he had ambushed who knew how many people with this trick. Yet today, his opponent showed no fear of his tons of Chronos glass debris.
心中响起了安慰声。
A soothing voice echoed in his mind.
｛老二，我会请冥影为你报仇。｝
{Second-in-command, I’ll ask the Shadowflame to avenge you.}
阿力先是愤怒，随后脸上露出颓败之色。
Ali first simmered with rage, then a look of defeat spread across his face.
「废话少说，要杀要刮就来吧，这一天我早就想到了。」
“Spare me the nonsense. If you’re going to kill or mutilate me, just do it. I’ve long expected this day.”
自己根本不可能获得荒车之主的投资，他心知死期已至，口中喊出这话后，双手握锤向着他狠狠砸来。
He knew full well he could never gain the Investiture of the Wilderness Carriage’s master, and death was imminent. Shouting these words, he gripped his hammer with both hands and smashed it viciously toward his opponent.
白影念龙出现在次日身出现，一撞之下，阿力的半透明念力体被吊着从胸前离体冲出。男人的身体重重摔下，杨子藏身影一晃，一脚踢断了握住武器的双臂，武器被无形力量催动，划出诡异弧线稳稳落在青年手上。
Paleshade Wyrm appeared the next day; with a single charge, Ari’s translucent psychic body was yanked out of his chest like a puppet on strings. The man’s body crashed heavily to the ground. Yang ZiCang’s figure flickered, and with a kick he snapped the arms gripping the weapon. The weapon, driven by an invisible force, arced through the air in a bizarre trajectory and landed steadily in the youth’s hand.
[我获得了新的时序战器。]
[I have obtained a new Chronos Weapon.]
感受了下，这是每击45N的时序战器。
After sensing it, this is a Chronos Weapon dealing 45N per strike.
「荒车是什么？」
“What is the Wasteland Chariot?”
杨子藏转头看向被吊住的念力体，他此刻还略有神智，看来精神力不错。
Yang ZiCang turned to look at the suspended psychic body; it still maintained a sliver of consciousness—its mental fortitude was impressive.
｛我，不知道。你会死…杀我者…死全家。｝
{I, don’t know. You will die… The one who kills me… Death to your entire family.}
「你们的总部在哪里。」
“Where is your headquarters?”
｛你全家…｝
{Your whole family…}
杨子藏还想询问这人更多的信息，但他对自己拥有满腔怒意，后面的问题全都无视，只是诅咒着自己。
Yang ZiCang wanted to extract more information from this man, but the latter was brimming with fury, ignoring all subsequent questions and merely hurling curses at him.
「怨气很大，算了，再见吧。」
“Such heavy resentment. Forget it. Goodbye.”
挥了挥手，白影念龙欣喜地腾飞上天又直冲而下，将其念力体吞噬后冲向其它慌乱逃窜之人。
With a wave of his hand, Paleshade Wyrm soared joyfully into the sky before plunging straight down, devouring the psychic body, then charging toward the others scrambling in panic.
杨子藏看向战场另一端，徐秀川和左非闲两人如进入鸡圈的猎狗般，在混乱的人群身后追赶，也不知他们有没有缴获到时序投资。
Yang ZiCang looked to the other end of the battlefield. Shiu Siuchuan and Zuo Feixian were like hounds charging into a chicken coop, chasing after the chaotic fleeing crowd. He wondered if they had captured any ChronosInvest.
至于洛宾则挥舞着冒着红光的金色长剑，快速追击在到处逃跑的人身侧。
As for Robin Lo, he brandished a golden long sword glowing with red light, rapidly pursuing those scrambling to flee on all sides.
洛宾的每一击都显得很是普通，但却剑剑致命，看似大呼小叫，实则狠辣干练，比自己跟野兽搏斗而练出的招式更高效，杨子藏已经确认，这家伙根本不是普通的帽子叔叔。
Each of Robin Lo’s strikes appeared ordinary, yet every thrust was lethal. On the surface, he seemed to shout and carry on, but in truth, his moves were ruthless, efficient, and far more precise than the combat instincts Yang Zicang had honed through his life-and-death battles with wild beasts. Yang Zicang was certain—this guy was no ordinary officer in a cap.
「啊，死吧！」
“Ah, die!”
一位被撵得火大的副队级别的人物自知甩不掉这个尾巴，转身怒吼着展开Moexl向洛宾冲去。
A deputy-level figure, driven mad from the relentless pursuit and knowing he couldn’t shake this tail, spun around with a roar, activating his Moxel as he charged at Robin Lo.
「呵！」
“Hmph!”
洛宾身形一矮肩膀一撞，这冲过来的人直接被从肩膀顶飞到了身后，洛宾转身沉重的一脚踏在这人腹部。
Robin Lo crouched low and drove his shoulder forward with a jolt. The onrushing man was sent flying backward from the impact, his shoulder thrown wide. Robin Lo turned and planted a heavy foot on the man’s abdomen.
他单膝压制住对方，横剑割抹了对方脖子。
He pinned the man down with one knee, then swept his blade sideways across the man’s throat.
「还挺肥，抵消我六千多年增幅时序，可惜。」
“Pretty meaty—enough to offset over sixty hundred years of my Chronos enhancement. Still, what a waste.”
洛宾站起身来，周围人影已经稀少。
Robbing Lo rose to his feet; the shadows around him had thinned.
他看向另一端的真空地带，青年随意站立的身影矗立在黑夜中关注着自己。
He looked toward a vacant stretch at the far end, where a young man stood silently in the dark, his casual posture fixed on him.
「嘿嘿。」洛宾不好意思的冲那边扣了扣脑袋。
“Heh heh.” Robbing Lo inched his head toward that direction, showing a sheepish grin.
一番追击后，荒车大货队完败，四五十号人来到青年身前，领头的正是宋梓林。
After one last round of pursuit， The Huāngchē Cargo Crew was utterly routed. A crowd of forty to fifty people gathered in front of the youth, their leader—Song Zilin—standing at the front.
他噗通单膝跪下，举着两把低级时序战器道：「谢谢恩人。」
With a thud, he dropped to one knee, lifting two low-grade Chronos weapons high and saying, “Thank you, our benefactor.”
瞧见这动作，杨子藏吓了一跳：「你们这是干嘛，这又不是古代，快起来吧。」
Seeing this gesture, Yang Zicang was startled: “What are you doing? This isn’t ancient times—get up now.”
白影念龙消失在远方，又瞬间自在杨子藏身后的背影中腾出半截身子，张望前方。
Paleshade Wyrm vanished into the distance, then instantly emerged half its body from behind Yang Zicang’s shadow, craning forward to look ahead.
在这里，任何人都不能不防。
Here, no one could afford to be careless.
衣衫陈旧，身体消瘦但精神奕奕的宋棚主起身抱拳吼道：「这位兄弟，今天若是没你，我们就死定了」
Song Penglord, in shabby clothes and thin but spirited, stood up and cupped his fists, bellowing: “Brother, if it weren’t for you today, we’d be dead for sure.”
他身后一人也吼道：「咱们都是烂命一条没什么可以感谢你的，这是我们的敬意。」
Another man behind him also shouted: “We’re all just worthless lives with nothing to thank you with—this is our respect.”
说罢此人丢出把抢来的低级时序战器。
With that, the man tossed out a low-grade Chronos war-tool he had seized.
「以后兄弟有任何吩咐，他们我不管，我老孟是绝对不会说半个不字。」
“From now on, whatever you command, I don’t care about the others—I, Old Meng, will never say a single word of refusal.”
「还有我张民华。」
“And me, Zhang Minhua.”
「我李海轩也是！」
“Me too, Li Haixuan!”
人群嚷起了一片。
The crowd roared into a chorus.
宋棚主道：「兄弟，你准好我要还给你时序了，你可以离远点清空时序。」
Song Penglord said: “Brother, get ready because I’m about to return the Chronos to you. You can step back and clear it.”
「把那五千还我就行了。」
“Just give me back the five thousand.”
「你千万清空时序啊，我要还给你不止五千。」
“You must clear the Chronos—I’m returning more than just five thousand to you.”
洛宾走了过来，站在杨子藏身旁。
Robin Lo walked over, standing beside Yang Zicang.
「这是大伙儿的心意，你就领了吧。」他替这群汉子劝道。
“This is everyone’s goodwill—just take it,” he urged on behalf of the group of men.
看着众人迫切的眼神，杨子藏点点头：「好吧。」
Meeting the eager gazes of the crowd, Yang Zicang nodded: “Fine.”
[宋梓林归还我的5000N融资，并派返红利4500N。这真是笔不错的投资，可惜这里没有每日总结。]
[Song Zilin repaid my 5,000N financing and sent back a bonus of 4,500N. A pretty good Investment, but a shame there’s no daily summary here.]
心灵链接另一端的波波利都跳了起来。
Popori on the Sync-Link channel leaped up.
｛咱们今晚又发财了！｝
{We’re rolling in it tonight again!}
｛哈哈，波波利哪怕多赚到一天都是开心的。｝
{Haha, Popori is happy as long as he makes an extra day’s worth.}
莫里嘲笑道。
Morris teased with a laugh.
杨子藏心中微微一笑，秘技虽然每本都能卖好几万时序，但对波波利来说，卖一本就少一本。
Yang Zicang chuckled inwardly—though each secret tome could sell for tens of thousands of Chronos, for Popori, every one sold meant one fewer in hand.
那东西越是珍贵，他越是觉得在割自己肉。
The rarer the treasure, the more it felt like gouging his own flesh.
能额外赚到别的时序，对他来说反而是更开心的，哪怕这只是自己赚到的。
Earning extra Chronos elsewhere brought him greater joy, even if it came from someone else’s gains.
而另一边的莫里和波波利两人早就心中惊异无比，失频之地上的混战真是血腥。
Meanwhile, Morris and Popori were both stunned to their core—the carnage on the Shibin Wastes had been nothing short of bloody.
此刻的波波利才真正认识到莫里口中「认识了个厉害大神」的「厉害」到底厉害到了什么程度。
Only now did Popori truly grasp just how “formidable” the “formidable master” Morris had mentioned actually was.
不用顾忌时序的混战中，白影念龙处于绝对碾压的状态，在遇到其它念能力者前，它便是战场的主宰。
With no need to spare a single Chronos in the melee, the Paleshade Wyrm held absolute dominance—before encountering other Nen users, it was the unchallenged master of the battlefield.
左、徐二人以及陈老师两人从遍地尸骸中穿了过来，「哈哈，今晚终于替大伙铲除了个祸害。」
Zuo, Xu, and Professor Chen made their way through the corpses strewn everywhere. “Haha, we finally rid everyone of that pest tonight.”
「太可怕了，老师啊，这么久你的眼光终于准了一次诶，认了个大佬。」
“How terrifying! Master, for once your judgment was actually spot on—you’ve truly found a big shot.”
后方的小刘拽着自己导师的袖子，一只手指着杨子藏的身影，看似害怕的道。
Behind them, Xiao Liu tugged at his mentor’s sleeve, pointing at Yang Zicang’s silhouette as he spoke with feigned fear.
陈老师无语的瞥了眼自己的学生，「把你的爪子拿开，丢人现眼。」
Professor Chen cast a speechless glance at his student. “Take your paw off, you’re embarrassing yourself.”
几道疲惫的人影出现在周围。
Several weary figures emerged from the surroundings.
「几位恩人。」
“Our saviors.”
「这次死了好多人。」
“So many have died this time.”
杨子藏看过去，宁洋五人期期艾艾的站在远处。
Yang Zicang looked over and saw Ning Yang and his four companions standing hesitantly in the distance.
宋棚主们警惕的盯着这几人，虽然光线不好，但他有看到这几人之前是在荒车大货队里。
Song Peng and the others watched them warily. Though the light was dim, they had noticed these people earlier within the ranks of the Deserted Cars Cargo Crew.
「甲，甲子兄弟，还有左师父，你们…呜呜呜…」
“Brother Jiazi… and Master Zuo… you… sob sob sob…”
宁洋还想矜持下，结果一句话说出口就伤伤心心的哭了起来，越哭越大声。
Ning Yang had intended to maintain some composure, but the moment he spoke, he burst into sorrowful sobs, growing louder with each cry.
「我还以为再也见不到你们了，呜呜呜…」
“I thought I’d never see you again… sob sob sob…”
杨子藏无奈耸耸肩。
Yang Zicang shrugged helplessly.
「你们这群煞笔！」
“You bunch of fools!”
徐秀川上去就是一通大骂。
Shiu Siuchuan went straight to scolding them harshly.
听了半晌，对面几十号人才惊讶的发现，甲子间几人竟然是来救他们的，原来自己还承了他们的情才对。
After listening for a while, the dozens across from them realized with astonishment that Jiazi and the others had come to rescue them—that, in fact, they owed their lives to these very people.
等这通训斥结束后，心惊不已的宋棚主缓慢走了过来，将手上的武器递给杨子藏身旁的左非闲，这家伙大喜的一把抱在了怀里。
After this reprimand ended, a startled Song Penglord slowly walked over, handing his weapon to Zuo Feixian, who stood beside Yang Zicang. The fellow joyfully clutched it in his arms.
「朋友们，今晚住咱们这儿吧。我们的人等下把这些货物捋一捋，明天甲子兄弟你说送到哪，我们就送到哪里去。」
“Friends, stay here tonight. We’ll sort through these goods later, and tomorrow, Brother Jiazi, wherever you say to deliver them, we’ll take them there.”
「这些货物你们留一半，我们拿走一半。」
“You take half of these goods, and we’ll take the other half.”
几十人知道杨子藏说的不是违心话，毕竟连这种冤枉自己偷东西的人都能来救，他们对眼前之人已经放心得很。
The dozens of people knew Yang Zicang wasn’t speaking insincerely. After all, someone who would even come to rescue those wrongly accused of stealing—they had complete trust in the man before them.
他们已经从宁洋几人的道歉声中知道了前因后果，对杨子藏已丝毫不怀疑。
They had already learned the whole story from Ning Yang and the others’ apologies, and harbored no doubt at all toward Yang Zicang.
宋梓林思索了两秒，咬牙道：「朋友，不知道你有没有自己的棚区，如果你愿意，我可以将我的棚区让给你，让你成为棚主。」
Song Zilin thought for two seconds, gritted his teeth, and said, “Friend, I don’t know if you have your own Peng Zone. If you’re willing, I can give you mine, and let you become a Penglord.”
这是他能想到的，在这地方生存的最佳方案。
This was the best plan he could think of for surviving in this place.
眼前之人的力量明显已经能镇守一个甚至是两个大棚区，成为那里的中流砥柱。
The strength of the man before him was clearly enough to guard one, or even two, large Peng Zones and serve as a pillar there.
若是有此人加入，哪怕自己只是身为副棚主，以后的棚区发展跟现如今也不可同日而语。
If someone like this joined, even if he himself were only a Vice Penglord, the future development of the Peng Zone would be incomparable to the present.
几十号人目光唰地落在杨子藏身上。
The gaze of dozens of people suddenly fell upon Yang Zicang.
他们想到，若是此人成为棚主，自己等人在荒野上的命运可就真有了大保障了。
They thought, if this man were to become Penglord, their fate out in the wasteland would truly be well protected.
「不好意思，我们有自己的聚集地，而且我们还有自己的货队。」
“Sorry, but we already have our own settlement, and we also have our own Cargo Crew.”
左非闲想也不想的就替杨子藏拒绝道。
Zuo Feixian refused without a second thought on Yang Zicang’s behalf.
「要是你们以后发展不如意，倒是可以往我们这边来，买卖货物也是。 当然，那是后话，现在就不提了。」
“If your development prospects aren’t so bright in the future, you’re welcome to come our way, even for trading goods. Of course, that’s a matter for later, so let’s not dwell on it now.”
杨子藏点点头表示认同，这老左看上去没个正经，但正要做决定的时候，他的脑子可不乱。
Yang Zicang nodded in agreement. Lao Zuo might seem unserious, but when it came to making a crucial decision, his head wasn’t confused at all.
等等，发展不如意？
Wait—development prospects not so bright?
杨子藏转身一膝盖磕在左非闲屁股上，将他顶出去两三步。
Yang Zicang spun around and drove a knee into Zuo Feixian’s backside, knocking him two or three steps forward.
「宋棚主，不好意思，我们不是那个意思。」
“Song Penglord, our apologies, we didn’t mean it that way.”
「没，没事，这位仁兄说的是事实。」 宋棚主擦了擦额头冷汗。
“No, no offense, what this brother said is the truth.” Song Penglord wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
